Yeka it was



Many self proclaimed experts on yekalore will compare and compare and compare until they find something better to do with their lives... so while they're busy with that - I would like to suggest that if you were in yeka some other year and it was "better" then this year, then it wasn't because of you. it was only because most of the staff that were with you that year didn't believe in comparing because comparing years is the most stupid braindeaded time wasting thing to do when you want to have a successful and fun summer!!!
There are a number of reasons why this yeka session was unforgettable. But if you think otherwise you are also right. it's just that there's only one person to blame for that. Think of the counselors that were attached to their bunk 24/7, do you think they'll be forgetting this summer so fast?

The picture above is one of the amazing successes of this summer. If were just for that, it was worth it. As one friend put it rather extremely, "for them to see yiddishkeit for the first time". I don't know if I'll go as far as saying that, but in a way it's very true. Because actually for all the staff witnessing the mesiras nefesh of these kids is seeing yiddishkeit on a whole different level.

Great post Bruce. It makes me want to wonder what's happened to you since camp, who you've spoken with, the people you've hung out with etc...

But good article nonetheless.
